Pay Pal Spoof

...Almost got me this morning.

Looked very official, telling me another device tried to access my PP account and that I might be compromised.

It was in my trash, not addressed to me by first name, but rather to just my email addy.

Be vigilant, people!

I received a similar one last night stating that my PayPal

account had been authorized for use with My Facebook

account.

Don’t have Facebook, never have.

I hope I am not the only one that finds this hard to read. And here I thought it was only the color red was the only one I had trouble seeing. As far as what I could read, technology is a weapon for many that seem to have nothing better to do.

Could you give some thought to using a darker color? Thank you.

@hckynut :

I'm sorry, I had no idea my print color was troublesome for viewers

This color seems easier on the eye, doesn't it?
